Mors Dag

Söndag 14 Maj, 2023
Vykort/Blommor : Mothers day has evolved in many countries in different ways. This is because mothers day has different origins in different countries and therefore occurs on different days in the year.
One school of thought claims that this day emerged from the custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and Rhea, the wife of Cronus, was held on March 15 to March 18 around Asia Minor. They insist that this custom spread around the world.
Mothering Sunday is the celebration of motherhood in the United Kingdom. It is also known as Mid-lent Sunday, Rose Sunday and Laetare Sunday. It originally comes from the Victorian practice of allowing servants to return home to visit their mothers on this day.
In the United States, Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 - October 17, 1910) was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, and poet. Howes Battle Hymn of the Republic was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862 and quickly became one of the most popular songs for the Union during the American Civil War. After the war she focused her activities on the causes of Pacifism and womens suffrage. In 1870 she was the first to proclaim Mothers Day, with her Mothers Day Proclamation.

Kristi himmelsfärdsdag

Torsdag 18 Maj, 2023
Katolska och protestantiska : Dies sanctus ascensionis Domini, Helge torsdag, är inom kristendomen dagen då Jesus efter uppståndelsen enligt Nya Testamentet lämnade jorden, och fördes upp till himlen inför elva av apostlarna och har firats sedan 300-talet. Dagen infaller 39 dagar (den 40:e dagen) efter påskdagen. Liksom påsk och pingst bygger dessa båda helger på måncyklerna och infaller därför vid olika datum olika år. Någon egentlig årsdag av Kristi himmelsfärd, kan man alltså inte tala om. Den liturgiska färgen är vit på den här dagen. [Wikipedia]
